I wish we would do away with Daylight Saving time. The holidays are often times of sadness for lots of adults, and when we change our clocks back one hour, it makes it dark at around 4:30pm in the East, so not only is the darkness, depressing, but the holiday blues dont help.
It takes about 20 days for pigeon eggs to hatch. After the eggs are hatched, the baby pigeons are known as squabs. Both the mother and father pigeons will feed the babies crop milk, a protein and fat rich substance that is created in an esophageal sac called the crop.
Occasionally, however, a female will lay her eggs in the nest of another pair, leading to three or four eggs in the nest. The eggs are white, 6.6 ml (0.23 imp fl oz; 0.22 US fl oz), 2.57â2.96 cm (1.01â1.17 in) long, 2.06â2.30 cm (0.81â0.91 in) wide, 6â7 g (0.21â0.25 oz) at laying (5â6% of female body mass).ncubation takes two weeks. The hatched young, called squabs, are strongly altricial, being helpless at hatching and covered with down. Both parents feed the squabs pigeon's milk (dove's milk) for the first 3â4 days of life.
